Tom Barrett Stands Against Lower Prices, More American Energy, and Addressing Inflation

McCarthy tries to save Barrett’s failing campaign as Barrett hides his radical opposition to reproductive freedom

As Republicans desperately try to divert attention from their dangerous and extreme anti-abortion position, Kevin McCarthy is traveling to Michigan to try and rescue failing candidates like Tom Barrett. Continuous coverage of Tom Barrett’s effort to hide his “100% pro-life – no exceptions” stance  highlights how poorly Barrett’s campaign is going.

McCarthy traveled to Michigan because he knows Barrett will be a loyal supporter of Republicans’ dangerous agenda, including a nationwide abortion ban. Kevin McCarthy is an extremist looking for accomplices in Washington. Meeting in private with Kevin McCarthy, who is out to enact a radical right-wing agenda, is ironic given Barrett’s attempts to try and hide his extreme positions in public.

As reality closes in on Republicans’ “Red Wave” pipe dream, Tom Barrett’s extreme agenda comes into focus as a major liability. No matter what he tries to delete from the internet, campaigning with Kevin McCarthy cements Barrett’s intention to put party loyalty over what’s best for mid-Michigan.

DCCC Spokesperson Matt Corridoni:
“The last thing Michigan families need is radical Washington Republicans pushing their extreme and self-serving agenda. Tom Barrett would be nothing more than McCarthy’s puppet; voters will reject being played by Barrett and McCarthy this November.”
